Entrance Exams Tutoring

Some American universities and many colleges have rejected standardized Entrance Exams. Instead, they evaluate prospective students solely through other means, such as an original essay or the marks the student received in a previous school. Others make the test optional or require students to take the test but do not consider its results in the admission process. Looking for help? Select a tutor today. Some professional or advanced education entrance exams include the MCAT (medical), LSAT (law), GMAT (graduate school) and ASVAB (armed forces). Studying for one of these? Select a tutor now. Don't let lower than necessary Entrance Exams test scores bar your entry to the future. Select a tutor today on your terms, on your schedule, to suit your needs and within budget.

My comments on tutoring Entrance Exams: In particular the ISEE exam.

I assess the student's level of mastery by listening to parents, communicating with the student (in whatever appropriate way needed) and then doing some basic testing. Once the student is assessed, I design a learning environment and activities that coincide with the student's specific strengths, while adding some elements of challenge. I tend to work in a very focused way for 10-15 minutes, and then add in tactile activities (like Bannana Grams for example) for 10 minutes or so, in order to maintain the student's attention. Children and youth who are struggling to read and write get patient assistance to learn the words correctly. My work will improve writing techniques (including essays and basic writing skills), reading comprehension, vocabulary development, and literary creativity. For younger children I work with acquiring reading skills, word recognition, pattern recognition, spel ... read more

I really pride myself in personalizing my tutoring. I try to never have more than 6-7 students at a time so that I can provide the best possible personalization of teaching to each student. Additionally, being at a similar age to many of my students helps me relate to them a lot better than some older tutors may be able to; I have more recent experience with taking the same courses/tests as them or applying to colleges like them, and this helps a lot in my tutoring personalization. In terms of my teaching style, I love being able to connect with students beyond the structured environment of most classrooms and tutoring/prep academies. I try to provide my students with just enough structure so that they know how to study, how to test, etc., but enough autonomy so that they can learn how to succeed on their own. Helping students navigate this fine line is really meaningful, as many

After graduating cum laude from the University of Oregon with a B.A. in English, I earned an M.A. in the Teaching of English from Stanford University along with a Single Subject Credential in English/Language Arts. I have taught English at the middle and high school level at high-achieving public schools in various parts of the Bay Area. I am particularly skilled at teaching students to construct persuasive, expository, and analytical essays, and at teaching students the fundamentals of grammar, mechanics, and usage. I am also available to assist in preparing for standardized tests such as the CAHSEE and the SAT. I believe that every student has a unique learning style and that it is my job as a teacher or tutor to discover which instructional methods work best for each particular student. I have a naturally patient and supportive demeanor and work hard to build rapport with students so

I have an undergraduate degree in Aerospace Engineering. I have a Masters in Systems Engineering. I have tutored one person in statistics, algebra, analytical geometry and elementary functions for one year. She has maintained an “A” average during that time. I take a look at what the existing instruction materials are attempting to convey and I add to that or expound on that. I use Google extensively to look for similar examples to the problems the student might be having. I believe that it is best to solve any given problem in at least two different ways if you really want to get some insight. It also helps in either verifying your answer or checking if you are in the ballpark.

During the last ten years I have tutored students in English, Spanish, Pilipino, mathematics, sciences, and business management. I love teaching and working with all children. I believe all children can learn and achieve excellence in whatever they put their hearts into. I can help your child achieve academic success and pursue any field he decided to attain.

I have worked for over five years with elementary and middle school-aged students; I have also worked with People with Disabilities. I love working with children, especially the Middle School-aged set, because I love being able to talk with them about current events, and its fun to broaden their horizons beyond their iPods [the gossip and daily drama is hilarious at times too]. I earned my Bachelor's in Biological Sciences and am now in the process of going back to school to earn my teaching credential. I am a parent to a four year old and a twenty year old stepson, so my teaching and parenting is one filled with patience, toughness but fairness, and lots of humor. I believe that children should talk respectfully, grammatically correct [Student: “Can I go to the bathroom?” Myself: “Well, I don’t know.

My teaching style varies depending on the number of students taught and the personality of the students. Also, teaching style is also influenced by the subject taught. For example, Mathematics is a subject that can very easily be taught by incorporating games which catch the attention and interest of students and at the same time impart the desired knowledge in the students without the students even realizing it. When this teaching style is successfully implemented, students are not only engaged in the activity but are also actually eager to keep learning and look forward to experiencing the subject even more. I have worked as a tutor for about 6 years and worked full time as the designated class room teacher, as a High School Math teacher for 2 years. Occasionally, I work as a substitute teacher. Over time, I have acquired a wealth of teaching experience. The areas I have taught/tut

I approach instruction from the view that “teach[ing] a man to fish, will feed him for a lifetime”. I am committed to building on what my students bring with them, using this as a fulcrum on which to hinge their learning. This approach succeeds in helping students understand that they are capable of and even responsible for teaching themselves?–?a skill I see as a necessity in life, especially once a student can no longer expect formal instruction. In addition to my own experiences with learning several languages, I have benefited from coursework in Behavioral Psychology, which has taught me to create positive classroom atmosphere. My students note my enthusiasm for language and express appreciation for my linguistic explanations. I have spent 6 years teaching university-level German language courses and reading comprehension & writing courses. Before this, I spent 2 years as a volunteer

I left the business world in 1999 to make good on my goal of completing my degree and teaching. I wanted the strongest foundation possible, so I chose General Studies, sometimes known as "Humanities." Since getting my first credential in 2002, I have taught in a wide variety of classroom settings, including having my own classroom for both Elementary and Middle School. I have taught as a substitute and permanent teacher in Special Education classrooms. I have taught Math, Science and Language Arts. I like teaching. I like teaching individuals. I enjoy the challenge of adapting my style and my information to the unique set of skills and experiences that each individual brings along with them. No two people are alike. So I try not to teach each student as if she is just like the last guy. What is called the "Affective Filter" is what I deal with most: that is the part of each student that

In order to account for individual learning styles and engage learners appropriately, my lessons include tasks that incorporated visual, audio, and kinesthetic learning styles. Visual tasks were presented using the whiteboard, computer or manipulatives to list the essential points of a lecture, and students were provided with an outline to follow along with during instruction. Audio learners can be presented material in an oral language format. In the classroom setting, students can listen to instruction and participate in group discussions. Reading groups utilize a more oral type of learning. Kinesthetic learners are physically engaged in "hands on" tasks. In the classroom, they are able to manipulate materials to learn new information. Most recently, I was engaged in research and writing of my dissertation. I worked at a local High school for three years teaching inner-city Hispanic yo

I am working toward teaching at the university level and have, of course in the process, taught students at the university level in literature and Arabic. But I enjoy tutoring and teaching students at a variety of levels because the different levels require different creativity and different techniques that create an ability to think on one's toes that feeds the classroom energy and enthusiasm. I honestly believe that creativity is the guiding means of teaching techniques, resources, and assignments. All students require different things and creativity allows for an agility and flexibility that works with different students and keeps the teaching dialogue sustainable. This creativity is of course contingent on lesson plans, subject knowledge, and an array of resources.
